Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

"Dad, you'd better not let my mother hear this, and be careful about sleeping on the sofa at night."

Zhang Yang was a little embarrassed by his son's words, but he didn't dare to say any more.

Zhang Haowei continued: "Dad, I think this is good for me. I go to work, watch videos and play games at home after get off work, and go fishing and drinking tea with friends on weekends. It's too troublesome to date girls."

Yu Dongqing was surprised when he heard this.

What's wrong with today's kids?

Not even interested in falling in love.

Could it be?

Yu Dongqing suddenly thought of something and looked at Zhang Yang with fearful eyes.

Zhang Haowei noticed something strange in Yu Dongqing's eyes. said laughingly:

"Uncle Yu, don't make random guesses. My sexual orientation is normal. I just don't want to fall in love right now. If I do, I will take the initiative to find one."

"Hao Weiwei, you haven't met a girl you like, have you?" It was Liu Zhiqi who spoke, holding Yu Tongtong's hand and walking out of the bedroom.

"Sister Xiaoqi, Tongtong." Zhang Haowei greeted politely and then added.

"maybe."

Compared with Zhang Haowei, Liu Zhiqi's personality is much more lively: "Uncle Zhang, Uncle Yu, many boys are like this now. They don't want to chase girls and would rather play games online."

Times have really changed.

Yu Dongqing sighed in her heart.

At this time, the doorbell rang again. Du Hui and his family had arrived, so everyone ended the topic.

In the afternoon, the four families sat around the big table in the living room, simmering mutton, drinking Wuliangye and drinks, and celebrating the New Year lively.

After drinking for a while, Zhang Yang sighed with emotion: "When I was a child, I looked forward to the New Year. When I grow up, especially at our age, I am afraid of the New Year. This New Year will make me one year older."

Yu Dongqing laughed loudly after hearing this: "Zhang Yang, this is not like your style. Look at your movie road show some time ago. You went to Harbin and went to Guangzhou. You ran like crazy. You are more energetic than young people."

"Hehe. To tell you the truth, I was really motivated at that time. I think filming "The Piano" was the most meaningful thing I did this year!"

"The most meaningful thing is unfortunately a loss." Liu Meirong, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but say.

She had been opposed to this matter from the beginning to the end, but Zhang Yang was determined and there was nothing she could do. Now that she heard her husband showing off again, she couldn't help but throw cold water on it.

Zhang Yang said without being annoyed.

"Loss? Some things are worth doing even at a loss! Besides, the loss was less than expected."

"Mom, I think my dad did the right thing about this." Zhang Haowei, who was playing with his mobile phone while walking by, said again.

"I went to watch it. I didn't quite understand some of the plots in the movie, but I was very moved after watching it. It was not easy for my grandparents' generation. Also, the song "Cheers to the Past" sung by Uncle Yu was really nice. "

Ah?

"Do you like listening to this song?"

"Yeah, I just like this kind of retro-flavored songs. Nowadays, it's hard to listen to the new songs?!"

Yu Dongqing didn't say anything, but Liu Ziqi, who was sitting opposite him, gave him a dissatisfied look.

Well what does that mean.

Anyway, the girl group I am a member of has released several new songs in a row recently.

If the elders weren't here, I would talk to you about this issue!

After eating, several women went to clear away the dishes. Yu Tongtong and Liu Zhiqi went to her room to play games, and insisted on dragging Zhang Haowei with them, not forgetting Du Hui's three-year-old daughter.

The remaining four men went to Yu Dongqing's tea room to drink tea and chat.

The tea is of course Longjing. After drinking wine and eating some greasy meat, now I make a cup of strong tea and drink it. It is indeed very comfortable.

"Zhang Yang, how is the release of the movie you shot? I have been busy with school recently, so I didn't pay attention to this matter." It was Du Hui who spoke.

"Will it really be a loss?"

"Loss is for sure, it's just that the loss is less than the loss." Zhang Yang said with a wry smile: "The attendance rate and film scheduling rate reported from various places are not ideal. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and when the Spring Festival movies are released, then It’s even worse.”

"I estimate that we will lose at least 3 million."

Du Hui was surprised.

3 million is not a small amount.

"Thanks to Dongqing, who helped me stand up, called his fans on Weibo to watch, and wrote the song "Toast to the Past". Many netizens left messages and went to the cinema because of that song." Zhang Yang finally said .

"Artistic films are just like that, and the film that Meimei has made now may suffer a loss." Yu Dongqing comforted: "But the Douban score is quite high, 8.6 points. It can be said to be an excellent film."

Yu Dongqing also went to the cinema to watch it.

Compared with the original "Steel Piano" shot in that time and space, the color of this drama shot by Li Fen has weakened, but the details are more accurate.

As a female director, I pay more attention to the delicate performance of the characters and have more warmth.

After listening to Yu Dongqing's words, Zhang Yang smiled and said: "The Douban score is indeed quite high. Li Fen has received an official invitation from the Sydney International Film Festival. She plans to take the film to the exhibition and it has been approved."

"Zhang Yang, you will definitely win the award, congratulations." Liu Yimin interrupted.

"Maybe. In fact, it really doesn't matter to me whether it goes to foreign film festivals or whether it wins awards. I don't need foreigners to evaluate this period of history."

Zhang Yang said: "It's just that Li Fen is interested, so let her go."

"Hey, there's one more thing." Zhang Yang suddenly thought of something and said to Yu Dongqing: "Dongqing, do you know which "Anyang Baby" that Zhang Dongsheng filmed?"

"Of course I know." Yu Dongqing said with a smile: "If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have written this script. I didn't expect people to dislike it."

"I heard from a friend that the movie "Anyang Baby" he shot was not approved and was secretly submitted to the Chicago International Film Festival in the United States. Although it won the award, it violated relevant national regulations and he will not be able to make any more movies within three years."

"Oh? Is this news accurate?" Yu Dongqing asked.

"It's absolutely true. I even called Li Wan specifically to ask. He said it was true. He also yelled at Wang Dongsheng on the phone for not listening to him. Well, now he's even lost his job."

Why.

Yu Dongqing sighed.

After everyone went home, in the living room, Yu Dongqing talked about what Zhang Yang had just said.

Meili was also surprised.

"Senior Brother Wang has been banned? How could this happen?"

"Hey, luckily it didn't last long, only three years." Yu Dongqing said, "I guess he won't have a good time this year either."

In a very ordinary restaurant in Dongzhimen, Yanjing, the dishes on the table were in a mess, and two men were smoking and talking to each other in silence.

It was Li Wan and Wang Dongsheng.

"Dongsheng, what are you going to do?" Li Wan asked.

"What can I do?" Wang Dongsheng raised his head and smiled miserably.

“Now that I can’t even make a movie, what else can I do?”

"That's fine, you can take a rest." Li Wan comforted him, "You're not young anymore. Find a girl to start a family with, right?"

"I am a pauper now, which girl is willing to marry me?" Wang Dongsheng asked.

Li Wanchang sighed, thought for a moment, took out a check from his pocket, and handed it to the other party.

"This is a transfer check. I made it from my studio account. It's 500,000, and it's for you. I definitely can't afford a house in Yanjing, but at least I can rent a decent house. I can settle down first and find a girl to live a good life. With you With my abilities, even if I can’t be a director, I can still do screenwriting, post-production, etc.”

"Thank you." Wang Dongsheng took it and said, "Brother Li, I will pay you back when I have money."

"I'm leaving first. Your sister-in-law is still waiting for me to return to my hometown for the New Year." Li Wan put out the cigarette in his hand, stood up and walked a few steps, then suddenly turned around and looked at Wang Dongsheng:

"It doesn't matter if you don't, but if I know you're using this money to make a movie, be careful I find someone to break your legs!"

After speaking, he turned and left.
